Perfect Salat as Quran

How to do your salat: “Wash your face, and your hands to the elbows, then wipe your head and your legs to the knees” ( 5:6 ) The salat is upheld for The remembrance of God, proof: “Uphold the salat for my remembrance” ( 20:14 ) And the remembrance of God is found in the Quran, proof: “Sad and the Quran with the remembrance” ( 38:1 ) And is performed with standing and prostrating, proof: “Is he one who is obedient during the night prostrating and standing” ( 9:39 ) And “rukoo” doesn’t mean bowing, but rather it is kneeling, proof: “And Dawood thought that we have ensnared him so he asked his Lord for forgiveness and fell kneeling and repented” ( 38:24 ) The word “khar” in Arabic means fall.  Plus we also see when the praying man is portrayed in the Quran he’s always portrayed as prostrating and standing That is because Kneeling ( rukoo ) is attached to prostrating. You read the Quran while standing, proof: “ they are not all alike from the people of the book are a nation standing re...

Note15:99-"Worship your Lord in order to attain certainty."-The Salat: The Obligatory Charity (Zakat): Fasting: Hajj & `Umrah:

Note15:99-"Worship your Lord in order to attain certainty."-The Salat: The Obligatory Charity (Zakat): Fasting: Hajj & `Umrah: . Religious Duties: A Gift From God When Abraham implored God in 14:40, he did not ask for wealth or health; the gift he implored for was: "Please God, make me one who observes the contact prayers (Salat)." The religious duties instituted by God are in fact a great gift from Him. They constitute the nourishment required for the growth and development of our Souls. Without such nourishment, we cannot survive the immense energy associated with God's physical presence on the Day of Judgment. Belief in God does not by itself guarantee our redemption; we must also norish our souls (6:158, 10:90-92). Additionally, 15:99 states that observing the religious duties instituted by God is our means of attaining certainty: "Worship your Lord in order to attain certainty." ➡️The Salat: The proof that Salat was already established through...

Note15:27(Jinns He has created from smokeless fire).

Note15:27(Jinns He has created from smokeless fire). . And the Jinns He has created from smokeless fire (with a fiery disposition 55:15). (৫৫:১৫ وَخَلَقَ الْجَانَّ مِنْ مَارِجٍ مِنْ نَارٍ আৰু তেৱেঁই জিনক সৃষ্টি কৰিছে ধোঁৱাবিহীন অগ্নিশিখাৰ পৰা।) [References to Jinns:  2:102, 6:100, 6:112, 6:128, 7:12, 7:38, 8:27, 11:119, 15:17, 15:27, 21:82, 32:13, 34:12, 37:158, 38:76, 46:29, 55:15, 72:1, 75:2, 114:6  Jinn,in fact, implies something hidden, rarely seen. So, after using Tasreef, Al-Jinn = The nomads. Jannah from the same root means a garden hidden in foliage. When the Jinns or nomads move to dwell in towns and become civilized, they are referred to as Ins = Urbanites. . Among the verses referred to above, Jinn, at times, denotes the hidden evil prompting that goes on in the human mind. In the sense of flashes of evil prompting, Jinn can be understood as Satan in minor forms. Satan = Selfish or rebellious desires, works in concert with evil emotions which have been described as ...

SHAB-E-BARAT / SHAB-E-QADR - NIGHT OF DESTINY / DECREE by Zia Mahmood

SHAB-E-BARAT / SHAB-E-QADR - NIGHT OF DESTINY / DECREE This is an acute example of how misguided, manipulative Traditional Mazhabies are. [97:1] Indeed, We brought it down in the Night of Decree. [97:2] And how would you know what the Night of Decree is? [97:3] The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. [97:4] The angels and the Ruh descend therein by their Lord's permission with every command. [97:5] Peaceful it is until the break of dawn. It is common in Quran to describe past events in present tense and future events in past tense. For example, following verses talks about the Day of Qiamat but written in past and present tense. [54:1] The Hour has drawn near and THE MOON HAS SPLIT.. [54:2] And if they see a sign, they turn away and say, "Incessant magic!" [54:3] They denied and followed their personal desires, but every matter has its time of settlement. [54:4] News has indeed come to them, which contained deterrents [54:5] of profound wisdom, but the warni...

Preserving and protecting Quran

Preserving and protecting Quran God promised in the Quran to protect and preserve the Quran. [Quran 15:9] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it. (১৫:৯ إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ নিশ্চয় আমিয়েই কোৰআন অৱতীৰ্ণ কৰিছো আৰু নিশ্চয় আমিয়েই ইয়াৰ সংৰক্ষক।) This very important verse, however, have been misunderstood by millions of Muslims. The misinformation was spread by some of the Muslim scholars who did not grasp the meaning or purpose behind this verse. [Quran 56:77-80] This is an honorable Quran. In a protected book. None can grasp it except the sincere. A revelation from the Lord of the universe. (৫৬:৭৭-৮০ إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ নিশ্চয় এইখন মহিমান্বিত কোৰআন, ৫৬:৭৮ فِي كِتَابٍ مَكْنُونٍ যিখন আছে সুৰক্ষিত কিতাবত (লিপিবদ্ধ)। ৫৬:৭৯ لَا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ পৱিত্ৰসকলৰ বাহিৰে আন কোনোৱে ইয়াক স্পৰ্শ কৰিব নোৱাৰে। ৫৬:৮০ تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ এইখন সৃষ্টিজগতৰ প্ৰতিপালকৰ পৰা অৱতীৰ্ণ।) For centuries th...

The significance of 14:41(14:41 the prayer for forgiveness on the Day of Judgement, is not a prayer given by God, it was a prayer spoken by Abraham).

The significance of 14:41 (14:41 the prayer for forgiveness on the Day of Judgement, is not a prayer given by God, it was a prayer spoken by Abraham). ।।।। Some writers have quoted 14:41 to claim that we are invited in the Quran to pray for our parents and implore God to have mercy on them on Judgement Day: My Lord, forgive me, my parents and the believers on the Day when the reckoning takes place. 14:41 Immediately, we note a very important difference between 17:24 ( https://muktabulraf.blogspot.com/2022/04/1723-24-prayers-for-believers-who-are.html?m=1 ) and 14:41. In 17:24, the prayer was for the parents in their lifetime. However, in 14:41 the prayer for forgiveness on the Day of Judgement, is not a prayer given by God, it was a prayer spoken by Abraham. Many would quickly say, "Is a prayer spoken by God's own prophet Abraham not good enough as a prayer that we should follow?" The answer to this question is as follows: 1- The prayer in 14:41 was a personal prayer spok...

V/N-14:22(The real Satan is man's own complex of desires(an-nafs) . (the real Satan (ash-shaytan al-asli) is [man's own] complex of desires (an-nafs): ১৪:২২ وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَوَعَدْتُكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا أَنْ دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِي ۖ فَلَا تَلُومُونِي وَلُومُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ ۖ مَا أَنَا بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِيَّ ۖ إِنِّي كَفَرْتُ بِمَا أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۗ إِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ আৰু যেতিয়া বিচাৰ কাৰ্য সম্পন্ন হ’ব তেতিয়া চয়তানে ক’ব, ‘নিশ্চয় আল্লাহে তোমালোকক প্ৰতিশ্ৰুতি দিছিল সত্য প্ৰতিশ্ৰুতি, ময়ো তোমালোকক প্ৰতিশ্ৰুতি দিছিলো(🛡️1), কিন্তু মই তোমালোকক দিয়া প্ৰতিশ্ৰুতি ভঙ্গ কৰিছো। তোমালোকৰ ওপৰত মোৰ কোনো আধিপত্য নাছিল, মই কেৱল তোমালোকক আহ্বান কৰিছিলো ফলত তোমালোকে মোৰ আহ্বানত সঁহাৰি দিছিলা। গতিকে তোমালোকে মোক দোষ নিদিবা, তোমালোকে নিজেই নিজকে দোষ দিয়াগৈ(🛡️2)। মই তোমালোকৰ উদ্ধাৰকাৰী নহয় আৰু তোমালোকেও মোৰ উদ্ধ...

14:4note-(Meaning of "God lets go astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills")

14:4note-(Meaning of "God lets go astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills") . 14:4 AND NEVER have We sent forth any apostle otherwise than [with a message] in his own people's tongue, so that he might make [the truth] clear unto them;(*) but God lets go astray him that wills [to go astray], and guides him that wills [to be guided] -for He alone is almighty, truly wise.(**). Note* Since every divine writ was meant to be understood by man, it is obvious that each had to be formulated in the language of the people whom the particular prophet was addressing in the first instance; and the Qur'an - notwithstanding its universal import (cf. 7:158) - is no exception in this respect. (৭:১৫৮ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَكَلِمَاتِهِ وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَ...

Shirk and KufrBy: A. Muhammad

Shirk and Kufr By: A. Muhammad Two definitive words used in the Quran are Shirk and Kufr. The adjectives from these two nouns are Mushrik (one who commits shirk) and Kafir (one who commits kufr) respectively. What exactly is shirk and what is kufr, and what is the Quranic difference between the two? The first observation comes from the following verse, and it tells us that shirk and kufr are not the same thing: Indeed, those who ' kafaru ' (disbelieved) among the People of the Book as well as the  'Mushrikeen'  (those who committed shirk) will be in the fire of Hell; therein they shall permanently remain. They are the worst of creatures. 98:6 If the two types of people were identical, they would not have been mentioned separately. The following are words which are used in the Quran as opposites: 1-   Mumin  (believer) as opposed to  Kafir  (disbeliever) He is the One who created you, then among you there is the  Kafir  (disbeliever) and among...

The majority of people are not believers(12:103).Can all those millions of Muslims be wrong?

Can all those millions of Muslims be wrong? By: A. Muhammad THE PREMISES Among the huge number of truths asserted in the Quran, the following six interlocked truths set the basis for this article. First:  The Quran has all the details of the religion. Second:  The sunna of God is the only authorised sunna to follow. Third : Muslims should not follow any hadith other than the Quran. Fourth : God is the only lawmaker. Fifth : The only duty of the messenger is to deliver God's message. Sixth : Upholding any source of religious law other than the Quran is an act of shirk. First:   The Quran has all the details of the religion Shall I seek other than God as a lawmaker when it is He who has brought down to you  the Book fully detailed ? 6:114 This (Quran)  is not a fabricated hadith, but an authentication of what came before it,  a detailed account of all things , and guidance and mercy for people who believe. 12:111 We did not leave anything out of the...

Striving in the cause of God: Dedicating our lives and money to God

Striving in the cause of God: Dedicating our lives and money to God Striving involves making an effort. Doing our best to please God, or to quote the bible, “fighting the good fight of faith”. A big part of striving – even the desire to strive – is that we remember God and eagerly wish to please Him. When we pray, we must do so eagerly. We must happily pay zakat, give to charity, regard the relatives, control our tempers, resist the urge to backbite, and honor our parents. We strive to fulfill the commandments and to please God. And as we eagerly strive with our lives and money to please God. True Believers are Eager to Strive [9:88] As for the messenger and those who believed with him, they eagerly strive with their money and their lives. These have deserved all the good things; they are the winners. Living in this very physical world we are encouraged to believe and rely only what we can easily see and touch, so preparing for the eternal life can become a heavy task as we try and mak...

How lawful are the fatwa?

How lawful are the fatwa? Question : Can you please explain what qualifications are required to issue a fatwa, and who is entitled to give a fatwa? Finally, how binding is a fatwa? Reply : Before deciding who has the right to issue a fatwa, it is necessary first to define what is a fatwa. A fatwa is a juristic ruling concerning Islamic law and is issued by an Islamic Imam or scholar. Although in the Sunni sect a fatwa may not be binding, yet in the Shia sect it is binding and is enforceable as law. In contrast, the Quran tells us that God is the only lawmaker, and hence no human (Imam, scholar or similar) has the authority to issue religious laws: Shall I seek  other than God as a lawmaker  when it is He who has brought down to you the Book fully detailed?" 6:114 We also read in the Quran that not even the prophet Muhammad had the right to make laws. We read in the Quran about an occasion when the prophet made the error of prohibiting somet...

THE MESSENGER IS THE QURAN

কোৰআনত ৰাছুল(Messenger) বুলিলে কেৱল নবীসকলকেই বুজায়(লগতে ফিৰিস্তা)। কাৰণ আল্লাহৰ বাণীবোৰ আমাৰ ওচৰলৈ পঠাই দিবৰ বাবে নবীসকলক ব্যৱহাৰ কৰিছিল। অৰ্থাৎ যিকোনো বাৰ্তাবাহকক "ৰছুল" বোলা হয়। এই কথাটোৱেই তলৰ(১২:৫০) ৰছুল শব্দত প্ৰকাশ পাইছে।  ➡️ইয়াৰ অতি সুন্দৰ ব্যাখ্যা এই খণ্ডৰ(২২৩) প্ৰথমেই মুক্তাবুল চাহাবে বৰ্ণনা কৰিছে। এই ব্যাখ্যাৰ লগত যদি একাত্মক হ'ব পাৰিছে তেন্তে ৰছুলৰ অৰ্থৰ আন এটা দিশ আমি ইয়াত উন্মোচন কৰিছো, সেয়া হৈছে "কোৰআন নিজেই ৰছুল"। কেনেকৈ? লিংকত চাওঁক।। ১২:৫০ وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ ⬅️الرَّسُولُ قَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَاسْأَلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ اللَّاتِي قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌ আৰু ৰজাই ক’লে, ‘তোমালোকে ইউছুফক মোৰ ওচৰলৈ লৈ আহা’। তাৰ পিছত যেতিয়া (ৰজাৰ) দূত তেওঁৰ ওচৰত উপস্থিত হ’ল তেতিয়া তেওঁ ক’লে, ‘তুমি তোমাৰ মনিবৰ ওচৰত উভতি যোৱা আৰু তেওঁক সোধাগৈ, যি নাৰীসকলে নিজৰে হাত কাটি পেলাইছিল সিহঁতৰ অৱস্থা কি! নিশ্চয় মোৰ প্ৰতিপালক সিহঁতৰ ছলনা সম্পৰ্কে সম্যক অৱগত’। ⬇️ We know that the word Messen...

VERSES WHERE THE MESSENGER IS THE QURAN -by Zia Mahmood

VERSES WHERE THE MESSENGER IS THE QURAN  We know that the word Messenger used in Quran for Human Messerngers, angel Messenger.  But seldom we know that Quran itself is addressed as Messenger. Here are some examples - VERSE 1 [3:81] God took a covenant from the prophets, "For what I have given you of the Scripture and wisdom, then afterwards, a messenger comes to you confirming what is with you; you shall believe in him and support him." He said, "Do you agree to this and accept this obligation from Me?" They said, "We agree." He said, "Therefore bear witness and I am with you among the witnesses." 1. /God took a covenant from the prophets/ - it means all the prophets including Muhammad.  SO, MUHAMMAD IS NOT THAT MESSENGER. Also, by the wording we certainly understand the prophets are Human prophets. We have no evidence of non human prophets for humans. But it does not mean the 'messenger' has to be human as well. 2. /a messenger comes to ...

ইজমা

Consensus (ijma) has been accepted by those who deserted(প্ৰত্যাখ্যান/পৰিত্যজ) the Quran. ।।। [and agreed(wa-ajmaʿū-ج م ع-وَأَجْمَعُوا)] . 12:15 So, when they went with him they had agreed to place him at the bottom of the well. We inspired him: "You will inform them of this act of theirs while they will not expect it." Note. Consensus (ijma) has been accepted by those who deserted the Quran to be one of the main authorities besides and even above the Quran. As the usage of hadith and sunna in the Quran is prophetic (🦜6:112; 7:185; 8:38; 12:111; ✔️33:38; 45:6), the usage of this word too is prophetic. The word ijma and ijtima are mentioned six times in the Quran and, in all cases, are used to depict the conspiracy of unappreciative opponents of God's message (🐦10:71; 12:102; 20:64; 17:88; 22:73). See ✔️33:38(edip). ।।। (🦜৬:১১২ وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا شَيَاطِينَ الْإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ يُوحِي بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ الْقَوْلِ غُرُورًا ۚ وَل...
